Come Home With Me

It is not given me to change myself.
It is not given you to change yourself.
But...
it is given me to become more myself.
It is given me to find my true self.

This is what we came here to do.
To remember who we are,
who we truly are;
To re-write our story,
our reality.

And how on Earth,
you might ask,
are we supposed to do that?
It is both easier and harder
than you think.
For it involves sitting in silence
which is easy for some
and hard for others.
It involves setting
the following intentions:
NOW, I shall seek and find the Peace of God.
NOW, I shall seek and find the Love of God.
NOW, I shall seek and find the Grace of God.
NOW, I shall seek and find the Light of God.

There is a quote from the Bible
perhaps you've heard it:
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven
and all else shall be added unto you."
You will be relieved to discover
that the Kingdom of Heaven
is actually inside of you,
inside all of us.
How can that be, you ask?
Well, ask Christ,
ask the Buddha,
ask the gurus...
They all knew
and know it to be true.

So come home with me.
Join me as I make my way
to God's Kingdom.
I invite you to re-write your story,
your reality, as I re-write my own.
Fill your story with the love and peace of God,
with the light and grace of God.
I invite you to become more yourself,
to find your true self as I do the same.
See for yourself if this process
doesn't fill your heart with love and joy
and your mind with peace and ease.
You will find that each of the mountains
in your life will begin to look like molehills.
Not because the problems will have gotten smaller,
but because you will have become
bigger and mightier than the mountains.
For as you approach the Kingdom of Heaven,
as you continue to dismiss the distractions of the ego
that would lead you astray,
on this journey back home,
you will gain access to more spiritual power
than you ever knew you had.

And as WE approach the Kingdom,
we will feel more united
and supported by our unity.
And when we come home at last
as the prodigal sons and daughters
of Mother, Father, God,
we shall know how to celebrate together,
how to mourn together,
how to mend our heart-break as one
and to lift each other up as we never have before.
When we come home at last,
everyone shall share an embrace
with everyone else.
When we come home at last,
everyone will know deep and profound love
and compassion for all of humanity,
for all life forms,
and for our beautiful provider,
Mother Earth.

So please, won't you come home with me?
